While significant progress has been made, there is still much work to be done to fully eradicate the negative mental health stigma that continues to afflict college and professional athletes. As many as 30% of collegiate athletes feel overwhelmed and often find it difficult to complete tasks due to factors like the physical and mental demands of their sport, family economic issues, and/or academic-related stress.

The partnership between MOGL and Alkeme Health is a significant step towards addressing the critical issue of mental health in college sports. The Alkeme Athlete Coalition will provide student-athletes with the necessary tools and resources to support their mental well-being, making a positive difference in their lives.

Sports figures have long been trusted brand ambassadors and highly sought by marketers. With the rise of social media, the opportunity for athletes to endorse products, directly or indirectly, is tremendous; but when it comes to collegiate sports, these athletes were prohibited from the marketing game until the introduction of NIL in 2021. NIL - name, image, and likeness - now allows amateur athletes to receive compensation and profit off of their popularity and often their already-sizable following on social media.

This partnership signifies a crucial step towards expanding NIL opportunities for King student-athletes while also providing university administration the technology needed to connect their network and receive automatic disclosures. 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. For decades, despite tremendous advancements in medicine around the globe and a growing commitment to wellness, mental health has long been considered a ‘taboo’ topic in athletics that has lingered far too long in the dark. Unlike physical disease and health challenges which are approached as problems to be resolved, there has been a stigma around mental health issues that brings with it undue shame for people who suffer with mental illness and even for their families.

One of the biggest advantages of working with college athletes is their ability to reach younger generations. College students fit into two of the most sought-after demographics – millennials and Gen Zers – who are notoriously difficult to reach with traditional marketing methods. Partnering with them doesn't just allow brands to access new markets, it also helps foster loyalty given that these consumers will feel connected to classmates and peers.

The NIL landscape is continuously being referred to as the “Wild West,” where everything goes due to the absence of any uniform rules or laws governing collegiate sports.
